This is very similar to the old argument (sales pitch) that single-crystal panels are better because they have better low light performance.
While basically true, it is meaningless. Getting an extra 10% when your light levels are down to 2% of full sun is almost totally irrelevant. One of phrases bandied about over the years has been "shade tolerant".
The problem is that most consumers do not realize just how much lower the light levels are in shade compared to full sun. Eyes adjust to lower light levels, but solar panels do not.

...I am more and more often encountering confused customers that are considering unisolar systems at zero-tilt (we are at 40 degrees N), with plenty of partial shading, after getting a pitch about all sorts of advantages of Uni-Solar....
